Greetings,
I am trying to follos the procedure as outlined in:
http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/128-building-a-cus...
I am using Cendos minimal ISO to build a custom installer and Live CD (with addition of NTP, samba and some custom application with dependencies)
According to the above link: "In RHEL/CentOS 6, this file is no longer called just "comps.xml"; instead, it has some horrendous hex string for a name. In CentOS 6.2, it is named bedb7dc8fdf920deffbdc5a70ea0d6d77255656556184f5e996e8a88a63d145c-c6-x86_64-comps.xml.gz. "
Indeed horrendeous file.
I am not able find the *comps.xml.
What should I do and where would I find it.
Else what is the method for pacakaging (Centos 6.4 minimal + some custom app rpms + custom configs) ?

Indeed, I did not miss that.
But I am using the centos minimal ISO which does not seem to have that file.
My original requests stand.
Then get disk 1 of the CentOS distribution and copy it from there..
Cheers,
Cliff

Finally managed to get the automated installation going using:
http://pyxlmap.net/technology/software/linux/custom-centos-iso
The crucial step I missed after dependency resolution was to rename 34bae2d3c9c78e04ed2429923bc095005af1b166d1a354422c4c04274bae0f59-c6-minimal-x86_64.xml to comps.xml _and_ *hand*.
I would still prefer something like revisor appearing on epel for centos 6.4 repo.
Thanks for everyone who helped.

Should have read *hand* edit that file to include other packages which I wanted like ntp, mc, ntfs-3g etc.
